my post regarding fulltime moms wasn't to offend it was for

mrsyac2

Sorry if I offended anyone I just didn't put my normal heading/subject as fulltime working mommies who work outside the home- I see it was locked as well-

I wasn't bashing anyone stating if you don't work (outside your home) your less busy then if you work fulltime- so please accept my applogies

I just started the post when I saw the post for Stay At Home Mom's

so I figured there should be one for Mothers that work full-time outside the home as well- its just supposed to be a support group for the women that work all day come home tend to the normal rustle and bustle of home life of kids,dinner,housework, homework ect then still have to find time to workout before the alarm is going off again to get up in the morning.

I think it was a fine idea that just was misunderstood.

My mom was a single-parent who had me and my sister and worked full time.
My stepmom is still married to my dad and stays home with my little brother.

My sister and I were very well-behaved, while my brother is possibly possessed. So, even though my mom works and my stepmom doesn't, neither of them have any time anyway. It's just for different reasons.

I wasn't offended at all.

I was just confused if you meant stay at home moms or working outside of the home moms.

I get confused very easily.:blushing: :laugh:

I agree. It seemed to be just a huge mis-understanding. Don't worry....you can't please everybody anyway

thank you

Aw, heck guys-- there was no offense. I realized after I opened it what it was and what the intent was-- I was just having some fun. We're all in this boat together-- working outside the home, inside the home-- lots o' kids, no kids-- we were just having some fun. No disrespect or offense was intended-- it was late, we were punchy.

You know what-- and actually, I have more respect for what you all do now more than ever-- I have a home typing job that takes a LOT of my time-- I can't imagine having to get up and out every day to do this, and still take care of everything else on my plate.

Again-- we were having some tickles--

I am VERY lucky to work full time.....from home. I am lucky that my boss realized I didn't need to commute to still get my job done and that I am actually putting in more time and getting more done than when I had to commute an hour each way for work.

Since I work from home I get the benefit of both worlds and I also get to see what true stay at home mommies do and I see why both sides of the mommy spectrum are sensitive to the issue.

Most of the stay at home mommies in my neighborhood are at home with kids from newborn to age 14 and some have one left at home and some have none. Most of those mommies are working in some way or another besides being the maid they are hairdressers a few days a week or going to night school so that when their kids are in school they can go back to a decent job and others volunteer at the schools at teachers aides and helping with pta stuff and all that good stuff.

I would say that being a work at home mommy with school age kids that we all deal with the same mommy issues it is just a matter of how much of our day we can devote to keeping up appearances with a clean house and a cooked meal and if we are married, how to keep our oldest child (the husband) from being lazy and not helping around the house.

I don't think either side cares for their children more or less, I think we all do what we can and have to do to put food on the table and clothes on our kids and still take care of ourselves. We all juggle aspects of life, it's just a matter of how big those juggling balls are!

So, no getting sensitive over the issue. Stay at home moms have their daily challenges and working mommies have theirs but we are all just trying to figure out how to do best for our family! It takes all kinds of mommies to make the world go round :drinker:

I was discussing this recently with a friend-- how there can be such paranoia on both sides thinking that the other side is looking down their noses.

We all love our kids. Some women don't work outside the home, some have to, some choose to-- and at the end of the day we all go to bed tucking in our children, hoping we haven't screwed them up too badly today. :laugh:

In the words of High School Musical-- "We're all in this together-- "

Let's all chill-- take a deep breath-- and realize that we're all on the same side. We all hope to release into society some day some incredible offspring who will make a positive difference in this world that we inhabit.

God bless you all this day, my friends-- :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

I don't see what the big controversy about being stay at home mom vs being a mom who works outside the home-

My sister in law is a stay at home mom and both have there pros and cons- she does everything i do except work outside the home and neither of us are better at parenting than the other.

Parenting is alot of work- Some people are blessed to not have to work others have to (me being one of them).

My post wasn't to offend the mothers who don't work or vice versus.

I personally enjoy my hectic lifestyle in a sense i know it seems crazy but its my life.

So again i appologize. No one person is better than the other especially at parenting- I am a good mom I love my girls they drive me crazy at times but who's kids don't. The whole purpose of the post was to give a support group to the mothers who work a fulltime job.

Like i said before i didn't mean to offend anyone-

Daaaang. I must of missed something good!
I've played on both sides of this fence.
There isn't really any reason anyone should get their spandex in a bunch either way.
To each their own...

Mrsyac2- Stop apologizin girl, you did nothing wrong. Starting a topic, then having to watch it get twisted into a controversy is NOT your fault.

***Edit: Just so you all know, I think people on both sides of debates like these are great and have their own perspective. Having been on both sides... I've seen how it can go.
